i Am not sure if the battery has a fuseable link on these cars , but I would suspect the starter/ solenoid if all your connections check out.

here's a quick test for the starter. have someone try to start it, while you bang on the starter. you can put the tip of a long screwdriver or pipe against the starter and hammer on it while turning the key. if it starts, you definitely know you have a starter problem. make sure the car's in neutral, with parking brake and foot brake on, cuz you'll be close to a wheel!

First we need to know if the engine is turning over or not. If not, do you hear a "click" when you put the key in the start position, or nothing at all? Do all the gauges light up normally when you turn the key on? If all the accessories/lights work, try cranking it w/ the headlights on to see if they go dim or not (ie if starter is drawing current). Also check the condition of your battery cables, especially the ground cable and where it attaches to. It would also help to know what year your car is. Help me help you!
